Problem Statement¶
Business Context¶
Workplace safety in hazardous environments like construction sites and industrial plants is crucial to prevent accidents and injuries. One of the most important safety measures is ensuring workers wear safety helmets, which protect against head injuries from falling objects and machinery. Non-compliance with helmet regulations increases the risk of serious injuries or fatalities, making effective monitoring essential, especially in large-scale operations where manual oversight is prone to errors and inefficiency.
To overcome these challenges, SafeGuard Corp plans to develop an automated image analysis system capable of detecting whether workers are wearing safety helmets. This system will improve safety enforcement, ensuring compliance and reducing the risk of head injuries. By automating helmet monitoring, SafeGuard aims to enhance efficiency, scalability, and accuracy, ultimately fostering a safer work environment while minimizing human error in safety oversight.
Objective¶
As a data scientist at SafeGuard Corp, you are tasked with developing an image classification model that classifies images into one of two categories:
- With Helmet: Workers wearing safety helmets.
- Without Helmet: Workers not wearing safety helmets.
Data Description¶
The dataset consists of 631 images, equally divided into two categories:
- With Helmet: 311 images showing workers wearing helmets.
- Without Helmet: 320 images showing workers not wearing helmets.
Dataset Characteristics:
- Variations in Conditions: Images include diverse environments such as construction sites, factories, and industrial settings, with variations in lighting, angles, and worker postures to simulate real-world conditions.
- Worker Activities: Workers are depicted in different actions such as standing, using tools, or moving, ensuring robust model learning for various scenarios.

# Create the count plot with class labels
ax = sns.countplot(
x=labels.iloc[:, 0],

Observations:
- The dataset is well-balanced, with 49.3% of the images labeled as "Without
Helmet" and 50.7% as "With Helmet".
The images cover diverse scenarios, including construction sites and industrial settings.
There is significant variation in lighting conditions, camera angles, and worker postures across the dataset.
The workers are engaged in a range of activities, such as standing, using tools, and moving.
The overall image quality and resolution appear consistent throughout the dataset.
Data Preprocessing¶
Converting images to grayscale¶
In [8]:
# Convert RGB images to Grayscale
def rgb_to_grayscale(images):
"""Convert RGB images to grayscale"""
# Using OpenCV conversion weights: 0.299*R + 0.587*G + 0.114*B
grayscale_images = np.dot(images[...,:3], [0.299, 0.587, 0.114])
return grayscale_images.astype(np.uint8)
# Convert to grayscale
images_gray = rgb_to_grayscale(images)
print(f"Grayscale images shape: {images_gray.shape}")
# Plot before and after preprocessing
fig, axes = plt.subplots(2, 6, figsize=(18, 8))
sample_indices = np.random.choice(len(images), 6, replace=False)
for i, idx in enumerate(sample_indices):
# Original RGB
axes[0, i].imshow(images[idx])
axes[0, i].set_title(f'Original RGB\nLabel: {labels.iloc[idx, 0]}')
axes[0, i].axis('off')
# Grayscale
axes[1, i].imshow(images_gray[idx], cmap='gray')
axes[1, i].set_title(f'Grayscale\nLabel: {labels.iloc[idx, 0]}')
axes[1, i].axis('off')
plt.suptitle('Before and After Preprocessing: RGB to Grayscale', fontsize=16)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
# Reshape grayscale images for CNN (add channel dimension)
images_processed = images_gray.reshape(images_gray.shape[0],
images_gray.shape[1],
images_gray.shape[2], 1)
print(f"Processed images shape: {images_processed.shape}")
Grayscale images shape: (631, 200, 200)
Processed images shape: (631, 200, 200, 1)
Observations:
I chose to implement the grayscale conversion using NumPy and vectorized operations because it aligns better with the approach we've been learning so far, which emphasizes clean, efficient, and NumPy-based data preprocessing.
Efficiency through Vectorization: Instead of looping over each image, I applied a vectorized np.dot() operation, which processes the entire dataset at once. This is faster and scales better for large image sets.
Clarity and Consistency: The formula used (0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114*B) follows the standard grayscale conversion and is explicitly written, making the code more transparent and easier to follow.
Smooth Integration with ML Workflow: The grayscale output stays in the NumPy array format, which integrates seamlessly with visualization, reshaping, and further steps in TensorFlow/Keras pipelines.
This approach keeps the entire workflow consistent and efficient, building on the techniques we've been applying throughout the project.
Splitting the dataset¶
In [9]:
# Split the dataset (60% train, 20% validation, 20% test)
X_temp, X_test, y_temp, y_test = train_test_split(
images_processed, labels, test_size=0.2, random_state=42, stratify=labels)
X_train, X_val, y_train, y_val = train_test_split(
X_temp, y_temp, test_size=0.25, random_state=42, stratify=y_temp)
Data Normalization¶
In [10]:
# Data Normalization
X_train_norm = X_train.astype('float32') / 255.0
X_val_norm = X_val.astype('float32') / 255.0
X_test_norm = X_test.astype('float32') / 255.0

Observations from Model Results – Simple CNN Model¶
Model Architecture Overview¶
The CNN model consists of three convolutional blocks with increasing filter sizes (32, 64, 128), each followed by max-pooling, leading into a dense layer with 512 units and a final sigmoid output layer.
Total Parameters: Approximately 34.76 million
Trainable Parameters: All parameters are trainable
Notable Detail: The dense layer contains the vast majority of parameters (~34.6 million), which increases model complexity and may lead to overfitting if not handled properly.
Training History Analysis¶
Accuracy: Both training and validation accuracy reach nearly 100% within the first few epochs
Loss: Training and validation loss drop sharply and stabilize near zero, indicating confident and consistent predictions
Interpretation:
- The model quickly learned the task, which suggests the classification problem is relatively simple or the dataset is clean and well-structured
- The close alignment between training and validation metrics suggests minimal overfitting during training
Confusion Matrix (Validation Set)¶
Perfect Classification:
Class 0 (Without Helmet): 64 correctly classified
Class 1 (With Helmet): 62 correctly classified
No false positives or false negatives
Interpretation:
- The model achieved perfect performance on the validation set, with 100% accuracy, recall, precision, and F1 score

VGG-16 BASE MODEL ANALYSIS:
The VGG-16 base model achieved near-perfect performance on the validation set, effectively distinguishing between images with and without helmets.
By leveraging transfer learning, it required minimal trainable parameters while still extracting powerful features from the input data.
Although the results are highly promising, further evaluation on a separate test set is necessary to ensure the model generalizes well to new or more complex data.

Observations from Model Results – VGG-16 + FFNN Model¶
Model Architecture Overview¶
The enhanced model architecture builds upon the VGG-16 base and introduces a more complex fully connected head:
An input resizing layer to match the expected VGG input shape (224x224)
A 1x1 convolution to convert grayscale input to 3 channels
The frozen VGG-16 convolutional base pretrained on ImageNet
A global average pooling layer
A fully connected head with Dense layers of 512, 256, and 128 units
BatchNormalization and Dropout layers for regularization
A final Dense layer with sigmoid activation for binary classification
Total Parameters: Approximately 15.1 million
Trainable Parameters: ~428k (mainly in the FFNN head)
Non-trainable Parameters: ~14.7 million (from frozen VGG-16 base)
Notable Detail: This architecture leverages the pretrained VGG-16 for feature extraction while allowing a richer, task-specific classification head.
Training History Analysis¶
Accuracy: Training and validation accuracy quickly exceed 99% and stabilize at 100%
Loss: Training loss approaches zero; validation loss steadily decreases without overfitting signs
Interpretation:
- The pretrained VGG-16 base effectively extracts general features
- The enhanced FFNN head learns complex patterns with the help of regularization
- The training curves remain stable and closely aligned, indicating good generalization
Confusion Matrix (Validation Set)¶
Perfect Classification:
Class 0 (Without Helmet): 64 correctly classified
Class 1 (With Helmet): 62 correctly classified
No false positives or false negatives
Interpretation:
- The model achieved 100% accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score on the validation set
- Indicates excellent reliability on current data, but further evaluation on unseen or noisy samples is necessary to confirm robustness
Visualizing the predictions¶

VGG-16 + FFNN MODEL ANALYSIS:
The VGG-16 model with an enhanced feedforward head achieved perfect classification performance on the validation set, accurately distinguishing between images with and without helmets.
By combining transfer learning with a deeper and regularized dense head, the model was able to learn more complex decision boundaries while still benefiting from the pretrained VGG-16 features.
Despite the flawless validation results, further evaluation on an independent test set is essential to verify the model’s ability to generalize to new or noisier data.
Model 4: (VGG-16 (Base + FFNN + Data Augmentation)¶
In most of the real-world case studies, it is challenging to acquire a large number of images and then train CNNs.
To overcome this problem, one approach we might consider is Data Augmentation.
CNNs have the property of translational invariance, which means they can recognise an object even if its appearance shifts translationally in some way. - Taking this attribute into account, we can augment the images using the techniques listed below
- Horizontal Flip (should be set to True/False)
- Vertical Flip (should be set to True/False)
- Height Shift (should be between 0 and 1)
- Width Shift (should be between 0 and 1)
- Rotation (should be between 0 and 180)
- Shear (should be between 0 and 1)
- Zoom (should be between 0 and 1) etc.
Remember, data augmentation should not be used in the validation/test data set.

Observations from Model Results – VGG-16 + FFNN with Data Augmentation¶
Model Architecture Overview¶
The enhanced model architecture builds upon the VGG-16 base and integrates data augmentation for improved generalization:
Input: RGB images (originally grayscale expanded to 3 channels), resized to 224x224 pixels
VGG-16 base pretrained on ImageNet, with the last few layers unfrozen for fine-tuning
A GlobalAveragePooling2D layer to reduce spatial dimensions
A fully connected head composed of Dense layers with 512, 256, and 128 units
BatchNormalization and Dropout layers added between Dense layers for regularization
A final Dense(1, activation='sigmoid') layer for binary classification
Total Parameters: ~15.1 million
Trainable Parameters: ~7.5 million (due to partial fine-tuning of VGG and full dense head)
Non-trainable Parameters: ~7.0 million (frozen layers in the VGG-16 base)
Notable Detail: This architecture combines the representational power of pretrained convolutional filters with a deeper, regularized dense classifier. The inclusion of data augmentation aids in generalization by increasing input variability.

VGG-16 + FFNN MODEL ANALYSIS:
The VGG-16 model with an enhanced feedforward head achieved perfect classification performance on the validation set, accurately distinguishing between images with and without helmets.
By combining transfer learning with a deeper and regularized dense head, the model was able to learn more complex decision boundaries while still benefiting from the pretrained VGG-16 features.
Despite the flawless validation results, further evaluation on an independent test set is essential to verify the model’s ability to generalize to new or noisier data.

Observations:
Model Selection Reasoning – Simple CNN
The Simple CNN model achieved the highest F1 Score of 1.0000, outperforming more complex architectures in terms of balanced classification performance.
Why F1 Score matters: For safety-related applications, especially helmet detection, both precision and recall are critical:
High precision ensures that the model does not falsely flag people who are actually wearing helmets (reducing false positives).
High recall ensures that the model detects all individuals not wearing helmets (reducing false negatives).
This balance is vital in enforcing workplace safety regulations, where missing a non-compliant case or flagging compliant workers can both have serious implications.
Conclusion: Despite its simplicity, the CNN model generalizes well and offers the most reliable performance for this task, making it the preferred choice for deployment in helmet compliance systems.
